Darren -
The PUG image was cropped a little from the right - the original was
printed full frame for a birthday card for my daughter and included my
logo in the lower right and the text "Don't go bananas just because it's
your birthday".
Here's how it was done - eight layers in PSE...
The fork and banana were shot separately on a black background. The
primary image was the fork and the background wasn't a pure enough black
so I created a a copy layer, turned the original image layer off,
removed the background, put an empty layer below it and filled it
w/black. The saturation on the fork was increased as far as it would go
to bring out the colors, then the right hand tine was selected, cut and
moved to a new layer. The free transform tool was used to bend that
tine and the end of it was selected, cut and pasted to a new layer so I
could adjust how much would stick out of the banana. Whew!!
The background of the banana image was also removed, the banana copied
to yet another layer in the original fork image and resized, moved, and
rotated using the transform tool until I was happy with how it looked.
The text and my logo were added as the top two layers.
I put the original psd here if you would like to see it in all its
layered glory. It's about 10MB : >)

The image that struck me (at small size) the most, and the one I still
have the most questions about (as in "i'm intruigued" is "Don't Go
Bananas" by Paul Sorenson. I'd love to know more about how that was
made, Paul (and why).
Really nice work by all.
